Denim-ize Your Ferrari Interior
I know what you're thinking, "I hate my Ferrari interior. It's so dull... all this black leather. I wish I could have denim seats instead. That would be so cool!"
Well, today is your lucky day! Now you can line your next Ferrari's interior with it.
The Italian supercar manufacturer has announced its new Ferrari Tailor Made program, which allows buyers to opt for a number of unique interior and exterior treatments including this fabulous denim-lined cabin.
Pay It Forward With a Molly Bear
I know this is off topic... but you guys want us to be personal with you, right?
As I put in these images, I can not stop sobbing. (I'm actually wiping tears off my keyboard and the "D" is giving me a little trouble at the moment.) I do not share too much of my personal life but, to make this happen for my sister, I will share these private photos and share my grief with you all. I'm saying things I have not really shared with many people.
I am guilt stricken... it was my job to get his hospital bag and make sure it was free of anything that would be heartbreaking. I missed the onesie that said, "You Were Worth The Wait". Carissa erupted in tears. Why didn't I unroll that tiny suit?! Why....
I had 4 children, very young.... 3 while I was a teenager... 4 children by the time I was 22. I have these 4 beautiful children. I did everything the wrong way.....
She didn't do anything wrong. She graduated at the top of her class, went to college, she's a high school honors math teacher, got married to an amazing, kind talented man, they bought a house. Why is fate so cruel?
This photo below documents the only time I will ever hold my nephew.
These are the only moments my sister and brother-in-law will ever spend with their son. They will never hear him cry all night long or change one of his a dirty diapers. They will never take him to the doctor, see him grow or change diaper sizes and they'll never see that first sweet 6 week old smile. They put in all the work growing this beautiful little boy and will never watch him flourish and grow into a toddler, a child, an adolescent, a man.
My sister and brother in law lost their first born child, at 39 weeks. In case you don't know 40 weeks is considered the average amount of time babies spend growing in momma's tummy. They can come as early as 37 weeks and as late as 42 and still be considered "due".
My nephew,Clark Michael Deneca, was stillborn this year, on May 23, 2011. I'm asking asking that you donate to Molly Bears at least $5 on his behalf. Molly Bears works by a a pay-it-forward way of thinking; they pick names submitted by donators and make them an angel bear (read more on how this process works here) so they can "hold" their lost little ones as they grieve.
If my sister, Carissa, was picked (because someone donated in her or Clark's name), they would make a weighted bear that matched Clark's weight at birth, so they could "hold" him again. If you can donate, it would be so appreciated! The more times their names are in, the better her chances of being drawn are.
Please make donations in the name of Clark Deneca and/or Carissa and Joe Deneca. I want my sister to get to snuggle "her baby" like I snuggled each of mine.
Please, if you would, retweet this with #ClarkDeneca as the hashtag and share this post on your facebook. Get the word out.
Donate here (in Paypal put Clark Deneca in the comment section) and LIKE Molly Bears on FaceBook and Follow Molly Bears, @MollyBearsOrg, on twitter, too!

IFB Links à La Mode: Incite, Invigorate, Influence, Inspire
When selecting blogs to be featured in Links à La Mode, more often than not, I'm drawn in by an interesting image or a cleverly composed title. I'm a big fan of wit, whimsy and a little sarcasm. However, this week I handled things a bit different and made choices spurred on by inspiration, you know, that good ol' gut feeling!
Bloggers aplenty (this means you) emboldened me to do more than just write about style and fashion (denim in my case). I wanted to bust out some serious sequin yardage. I pondered why everything looks better with glitter. I was impressed- no, I was in awe- with brilliant use of nail polish! I chose links that lured me far from my computer, taunting me to use my hands for anything but typing. Dear bloggers, you may have a small pedestal (you know.. your blog), but your voice can still be mighty... and inspirational! The future of fashion belongs to those of us willing to get our hands dirty!
After you've had a good read of this weeks links, step away from the computer and go stain up those hands. Make sure to document the process because, you know, your coming right back here to your computer anyway. You may as well be inspirational. Last thing, it's okay if all you do is make is a mess; at least you were inspired and that counts for something, right?

Happy Halloween From Denimology!
Just thought I'd share a couple snaps from our favorite month, October! I carved the pumpkin above! I am pretty proud of my work so I just had to share it. The images below are from this years Spooky Empire event in Orlando, Florida. The bottom one is my son dressed as the Joker from the Arkham Asylum video game. The other two were my fav denim looks from the Zombie Walk.
Recraft Denim Postcards
These days what with emails, tweets and status updates you forget that there are other less immediate ways of staying in touch. For instance how about a denim postcard? I know I have never come across this concept before. Each card is is hand made in Toronto using raw denim on the front and natural unbleached card on the back. These charming postcards, along with denim birthday cards and denim envelopes are made by Recraft and are available to buy online Etsy.
